Light Cultivation
Eps. 27 — Two Sword Faction
The departure of Jian Hai and Jian Sha was never all expected, especially since it was Jian Sha who had reached the Soul Realm.
Jian Chen's own strength was still mysterious to the other disciples but they did not expect that Jian Chen would have this high strength.
The feelings of everything were mixed between having to thank Jian Chen or being afraid of him. Because the day Jian Chen entered the Academy they had once offended him and even ganged on him.
Jian Chen was also not in a good state, everyone who saw him knew that Jian Chen's emotions were being overwhelmed by the anger from Jian Hai's words, so when Jian Chen turned around, everyone immediately lowered their heads, no one dared to look him in the eye.
Jian Chen walked past them without the slightest bit of speech, no sound was heard. The other disciples gulped and there was not the least bit of trembling, after Jian Chen's body disappeared behind the door then all breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps this time in the history of the Jian Clan lodging, there were new disciples in power, although there were some old disciples who were slightly objected but they could not do anything about it. In the martial world, strength is the measure of everything.

Jian Chen calmed his heart by resting, he first cleaned himself up before lying down on the bed.
Actually Jian Chen was contemplating his deeds, when Jian Hai alluded about his family suddenly his emotions unconsciously instantly rose.
Believe it or not, when Jian Chen strangled Jian Hai in fact it was a reflex from his body not from Jian Chen's willfulness.
It was as if there were other emotions in his heart that made him unable to control his body even if it was just a few seconds, those emotions made Jian Chen's instincts sharpen and it felt like he wanted to kill Jian Hai on that second as well.
‘Do I have a mental disorder?’ Jian Chen goosebumps at the thought of that and immediately brushes aside.
Though in the martial world, as a swordsman Jian Chen had to control his emotions. When a person's emotions are easily influenced, defeat is what he will get.
Jian Chen's anger was also actually a natural thing even though it was quite excessive. You could say his parents were the source of the reason why he had to fight to become stronger.
Jian Chen tried to save his clan because he wanted his family to live a quiet and peaceful life.
Perhaps due to a bit of fatigue today and the many events that had happened, Jian Chen fell asleep for a few hours and woke up when the sky was already orange.
Jian Chen felt his empty stomach, he forgot to fill it before he fell asleep earlier. When Jian Chen came out of the room there was already someone waiting for him.
“Ah, Brother Chen, is your rest enough?” A male disciple was already standing before Jian Chen's door, he was a little surprised but immediately bowed respectfully to him.
“What are you doing here, are you waiting for me until I wake up?” Jian Chen frowned.
“No, I just knocked on the door just as you were about to exit.” The disciple smiled widely, then reached into something under his cloak. “So someone came here but saw you were resting so he sent this letter to you.”
Jian Chen received the letter and read it, his face smiling as this letter came from the chairman of his faction, Miou Yue.
Miou Yue advised Jian Chen and the other members of the Two Swords Faction to gather the day after tomorrow, there are some things they should talk about and discuss.
Jian Chen closed the letter then turned to the young man who was still standing beside him, “Thank you for waiting for me, please trouble you.”
“Ah is fine Brother Chen, our fellow clan must help each other, introduce my name Jian Luan.”
Jian Luan slightly spoke for a while, telling herself before she bade away. Jian Chen smiled faintly at the young man's missing back, he was not naive, Jian Luan obviously wanted to approach him for having seen his high strength, he said, a person like Jian Luan would curry favor with a figure like Jian Chen to obtain an important position in this inn.

In Qianshan Academy, generally each faction had their own building as their own headquarters. The headquarters of the faction were used to gather and discuss for fellow members.
It was far different from the lower ranked faction like the Two Swords Faction. Its headquarters was like a small house, and it was a place where Jian Chen had to gather.
“Brother Jian, I did not expect you to come early.” A girl who was already sitting at the meeting table greeted Jian Chen when it arrived.
“Not really, I just don't have anything important so I'm straight here.”
The girl in front of Jian Chen was Miou Yue or the faction leader of the Two Swords Faction.
“Where else, has not come?”
“Not yet, maybe soon they will come here..” New Miou Yue talks about it, the other members come and go. “Well, that's it..”
“Oh, it turns out that Brother Jian can be here faster than I thought. Shouldn't you be ashamed of a new member who arrived late? You should have set an example for him.” One of the young men with a carefree nature immediately stared intently at one of the women when he was too late.
“Hei-out! Whatchu mean! You can not see the situation if you are also late.” The female student replied, do not accept herself accused.
“I came earlier than you, I came 5 minutes before you guys came..”.
“Slow is still too late, even if you are a second late it is still too late!” The woman who answered snorted then puffed her cheeks.
The other Angota only smiled with the quarrel of the two, thinking this was common. The male was named Lu Xuan while the female was named Shen Ling.
“You two! Stop!” Miou Yue mediated the two, the two members were indeed like this and were always fighting under every condition.
Jian Chen saw that all of it was just a smile, this was how the members of the Two Swords Faction looked. The number of members is around 13 people, not many like other factions that can sometimes be in the hundreds.
It was no wonder that the Two Swords Faction was at the bottom among the other 45 factions, other than the lack of members also had weak strength.
Miou Yue alone as the leader of the faction existed in the realm of the Soul Realm Stage 1, while for its members it was mostly in the Spirit Realm Stage 4-7. The Merge Jian Chen was probably the strongest member for the Two Swords Faction.
Miou Yue then explained the purpose of gathering, saying that soon the Academy will start a stealth hunting competition.
The Academy will annually hold this competition and participants from the academy may enter stealth hunting competitions on their own or in groups.
In short, from the competition is this competition racing to hunt as many demons as possible and then take the gem. The gems would later be collected as points and could be redeemed as rewards by the Academy.
The prizes will be provided by the academy in the form of resources or even weapons, they will exchange them freely according to the wishes of the participants if the jewels obtained are in accordance with the price of the prize.
With the form of a group, it is clear that this competition is more profitable than the work itself. Those who get high prizes are even given bonuses whether it is a form of fraction or individual.
Then Miou Yue conveyed that her faction would enter this competition and wished for its members to participate as well.
“Minimal, our fraction should get 50 stealth gems. This means that someone among us should get 2-4 stealth gems per person. It is great if you can get more.” Miou Yue conveys her purpose.
“Why should it be a little like that, shouldn't we target more.” Jian Chen furrowed his brows.
Miou Yue smiled faintly, “We are not aiming to win in this competition, Brother Jian, at least we followed and benefited by him.”
Seeing how pessimistic Miou Yue was, Jian Chen could only let out a long sigh. It seemed that his goal of joining the Two Swords Faction was very precise, with Jian Chen joining here it was not difficult to make this faction rise, at least in the top 10.
